Pick one part of Broad Pond and fish it slowly. At Broad Pond, start with a moving bait on a point or weed edge, then use a jig, worm or minnow around the exact depth and cover that produces a bite.
On a first trip to Broad, check incoming water, one bend in the old channel and a point near deep water with a moving lure, then slow down with a jig or worm where you get a bite.
Spring on Broad is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall on Broad can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
A medium spinning rod with 8- to 10-pound line handles most jigs, worms and small lures at Broad, while a medium-heavy rod is better for bass jigs and heavier bottom rigs.
At Broad Pond, choose one point, weed edge or old-channel bend near deeper water and check several lure depths before making a long move.
